The Holy Quran 22:18 — Surah Al-Hajj

Arabic text

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ وَٱلنُّجُومُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ وَٱلدَّوَآبُّ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ وَمَن يُهِنِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّكْرِمٍ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۩

Translation

Do you not see that all within the heavens and the earth prostate (submit and physically bow down) to Allaah, including the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the beasts and many people (however, man does not perceive the manner in which these creation bow down to Allaah). And there are many who justly deserve punishment (because they refuse to submit to Allaah). (When Allaah decides to humiliate a person because of his/her disobedience, no one can help the person because) There is none to honour (adequately) the person whom Allaah humiliates. Indeed, Allaah does as He pleases (and none can challenge His decision). (One who recites or hears this verse being recited should perform Sajdah)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ألم تعلم- أيها الرسول- أن الله سبحانه يسجد له خاضعًا منقادًا مَن في السموات من الملائكة ومَن في الأرض من المخلوقات والشمس والقمر والنجوم والجبال والشجر والدواب؟ ولله يسجد طاعة واختيارًا كثير من الناس، وهم المؤمنون، وكثير من الناس حق عليه العذاب فهو مهين، وأيُّ إنسان يهنه الله فليس له أحد يكرمه. إن الله يفعل في خلقه ما يشاء وَفْقَ حكمته.
